A few larvae hatched from eggs in 1913, but all died in the first and 

 second stages. Large caterpillars and pupae of Porthetria dispar were 

 offered, and the beetle larvae fed upon them readily.

CALOSOMA PROMINENS Lee. 



ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION. 



. Black; head very variably punctate, deeply impressed on both sides, thorax much 

 wider than long, sides angled acutely, with margin scarcely reflexed, narrowed at 

 base, somewhat rounded, finely wrinkled, punctate at posterior, elytra shining, finely 

 punctate in rows, punctures larger towards the base, interstices scarcely corrugated. 

 Length 1.3. Dead specimen about Pimas, Calif. 



This species was described by Le Conte in 1851 as Calosoma 

 angulatum, but this name was preoccupied, having been used in 

 1834 by A. Chevrolat for a very different species of Calosoma from 

 southern California. LeConte discovered this fact, and in 1853 

 proposed the name prominens for this species with the angled thorax. 

 It has been recorded from several localities in Arizona, California, and 

 Xew Mexico, and occurs in Mexico.

The writer announces the preoccupancy of Calosoma angulatum by Chevrolat and proposes to call 

 his new species, also with angled thorax,' Calosoma prominens.
